No Nate Lowe discussion?
I think to get him on the roster, the Sox would need to DFA Toro or.Ali Sánchez. Lowe this year is a marginal (.732 OPS vs RHP) upgrade over Toro (.691 OPS vs RHP). (I go Sánchez here.)
As Lowe is owed $2.5 mill or so for the remainder of the season, is he worth it? He has another arb year left and will probably get a modest raise on his $10.3mill salary. Of course, he could also just be non-tendered. Especially since Casas isn’t dead yet.
